Portland saw a more than 70% decline in vehicles traveling at least 10 mph over the speed limit.

The article from OregonLive discusses the skepticism expressed by Trump's transportation officials regarding the use of speed cameras in Portland and other cities to slow down speeders. The officials argue that these cameras are more focused on generating revenue than improving safety. They believe that traditional policing methods, such as increased police presence and enforcement, would be more effective in reducing speeding and enhancing road safety. The article also mentions that despite the controversy, cities like Portland continue to use speed cameras as part of their traffic management strategies, citing studies that show a reduction in speeding and accidents in areas where cameras are deployed.
